Synth History Revisited 2

This has nearly 10 mins of interview and demonstrations with Bill
Bruford and Dave Simmons showing an SDS 6 and SDS 7.

The Shape Of Things That Hum

http://www.strellis.com/shape.shtml

This contains an episode dedicated to the Simmons. John Keeble from
Spandau Ballet comments on the Simmons drum kit and folk lore from
Dave Simmons himself. You'll never guess what he developed next after
the collapse of the Simmons company! This interview was made in 2001.

Last but by no means least Rock School, Series Two

http://www.strellis.com/rockschool.shtml

There's no end of Simmonsy goodness from present Geoff Nicholls and
lots of Bill Bruford demoing his massive Simmons kit.

Thanks for looking.
